Welcome to the AHOY Centre

We are a charity that changes people’s lives and builds life skills through sailing, rowing, powerboating and other activities on and off the water. We offer opportunities for disadvantaged, at-risk and disabled young people to engage in activities and courses on an equal level with other young people from a wide range of backgrounds. We regularly witness how participants’ behaviour and attitudes to education change when they are given the opportunity to develop their skills, team work and confidence on our programmes. AHOY opens doors that lead to fulfilling careers and provides skills to help participants make positive choices in their future lives.

The AHOY Centre is thrilled to announce our partnership with WavySail, sending two of our former apprentices on the trip of a lifetime. This incredible adventure sail offers a unique opportunity to learn the essentials of planning and executing a major ocean crossing, all under the guidance of an experienced skipper and first mate. The journey is more than just sailing—it’s an exploration of new horizons and personal growth. find out more
